Sunday's Game possible postponement and make-up dates.

I am guessing that with the current forecast of 8"-12" of snow along with brutal winds causing heavy drifting, and the fact that the pacers can't leave town until after their game Saturday night, that Sunday's game in Cleveland will be cancelled.

What are some possible make-up dates for the Cavs game and could it possibly be a blessing and get us out of playing a back-to-back like we were scheduled?

Re: Sunday's Game possible cancellation and make-up dates.

I guess I should have used Postponed instead of cancelled. The Bulls @ Pacers game last December was postponed because of weather, and the Bulls were already in town. I think if the NBA feels it is too dangerous for fans to come to the game, then they will postpone it to a later date.

Re: Sunday's Game possible postponement and make-up dates.

Saturday's weather is supposed to be pretty good. highs in the 30's. By 6:00 am Sunday morning we are only supposed to have 2 inches of snow and temps will be around 20. So no reason what-so-ever they cannot get to Cleveland for Sunday's game. Plus they will fly out of indy around 1:00 AM Sunday morning.

I suppose it might be possible they get stuck in Cleveland an extra day and won't be able to fly back to Indy until Tuesday.

so I don't expect any games to be cancelled, although I suppose Tuesday nights game is a better possibility. Where are the Raptors coming from?

i am still very surprised last years game was cancelled. oops I should say postponned

Re: Sunday's Game possible postponement and make-up dates.

Not usual for around here, but not impossible. When I was a kid we had it happen a couple of years, and we've been down to -10 (without wind chill) at least once since 2007 when I moved back.

Compare that to the end of January when I fully expect us to have at least one 50-degree day, which also is not unusual.

I grew up in Southern Indiana and remember a massive snowstorm in January 1994 with wicked sub zero temperatures afterword. But since then, I can't say I recall temperatures as cold as what is coming on Monday. I guess it's the polar opposite of that extreme heatwave we had in 2012 with multiple days in the 100's.

Re: Sunday's Game possible postponement and make-up dates.

And I still say the league dropped the ball on that, considering they waited until the last possible second to cancel the game (AKA when Bulls fans were already arriving in town).

I think I'll email work and tell em I'm working from home on Monday.

We had a pretty rough week of it in 94 for sure.

This time around it's only for a couple of days and I'm pretty sure we've dipped sub-zero plenty of times in the last 10 years. The only thing that might suck is if it helps plant a bunch of snow into the ground as a follow-up freeze behind a ton of snow/ice.

I walked to the ice-game a couple of seasons ago and was getting sleeted on the whole way. Crowd was light but not totally empty that night, and it was the Raps I think (or some non-impressive opponent). My concern is the team being able to return right after the game due to the status here in Indy, and only because of rest concerns. They'll be able to come back for sure the next morning worst-case.

I was so livid at the candy-*** "let's bail out the Bulls" postponement of the game last year. I worked that day as did plenty of other people. By 5 pm all the downtown roads were clear as could be, certainly 10 times better than they were just yesterday when the plows didn't get onto them till about 4-5pm (we were out all day and drove all over the city, I saw the plows when they started doing routes and could see which roads had been cleared downtown).

Re: Sunday's Game possible postponement and make-up dates.

So am I supposed to feel bad that it's still going to be in the 70's here for next week or so?

"It's just unfortunate that we've been penalized so much this year and nothing has happened to the Pistons, the Palace or the city of Detroit," he said. "It's almost like it's always our fault. The league knows it. They should be ashamed of themselves to let the security be as lax as it is around here."

Yesterday morning, you could have thrown every plow you could have out there, and it wouldn't have made a damn lick of good. When I attempted (key word) to make my commute to work, I saw plows drive by. Within 5 minutes, you couldn't tell that a plow had been there at all.

Just one of the factors in me deciding to give up and turn back and work from home.
